[Mount Kramer Cameras]

Holtby, have mercy

 

[smithformeragent]

Clode

 

[bolt thrower]

Why has Pasta being sent to Providence? This is getting stupid. First the wjc and now Providence.

 

[Blowfish]

Good chance with see morrow and c Miller in the line up first time. .

 

[AlpineLager]

4-1 Capitals. Not very optimistic about tonight. Doesn't help not having Krejci and Marchy. I still think someone needs to invent a rubber remote for these occasions.

 

[Flannelman]

show the **** up

 

[BMC]

show the **** up

This sums it up for me perfectly

 

[BruinsBtn]

This is a tough test. Washington is the real deal. A win would be a pleasant surprise.

 

[Dueling Banjos]

Good chance with see morrow and c Miller in the line up first time. .

I like that as well.

 

[Therick67]

Anything can happen, but I'd be stunned if the B's can pull this one out. I do expect a great effort though, after that joke on Friday.

 

[hockeykicker]

Washington without carlson, orpik and beagle tonight

 

[Elmer]

If Clod puts Talbot out to take the opening face they are done.

 

[TMac21]

Rask will have to steal it...plus we are due to solve Holtby right?

 

[Greek_physique]

Am I missing something...how can C.Miller and Morrow play together today?

Is someone hurt or being benched?

 

[mislysBB]

All I want them to do is show up, act like they care, and score at least one goal on Holtby. A win would be a bonus, but I'm definitely not banking on one.

 

[Hali33]

If Washington have half their act together they will probably feast upon this team tonight.

 

[fr0mzer0]

Going tonight... first time I've been since 05-06 when they played....Washington.. lol

Gotta play better on both sides no doubt. Most certainly gotta get Tuukka some help, or he's gonna be swiss cheese the way the Caps have looked

 

[Scotto74]

already had out 2016 let down so that means we got this.

 

[Fenway]

already had out 2016 let down so that means we got this.

We haven't lost indoors yet in 2016 and we won't tonight. They will win game #3,000 at home tonight.

I like the way your thinking

 

[alg363636]

This has the potential to be a true disaster

Prove me wrong boys

 

[Sheppy]

3-1 Caps. Hopefully not, but that's my guess. Bruins outshoot them 40-28.

 

[Healthy Wrap]

Why has Pasta being sent to Providence? This is getting stupid. First the wjc and now Providence.

This has been discussed ad nauseam. He's getting back late from the WJC, wouldn't have been able to play tonight anyways, and they need a roster spot for Kemppainen (who's coming off IR). I swear to god some of you people enjoy being miserable

 

[Sheppy]

Washington is physical and they like to run around from time to time. Hopefully it's a nasty game. I don't care what anyone says... The Bruins are at their best when the game gets chippy.
